Sierra's Pov
Sierra felt so much angst, how could he? She felt so foolish for letting him touch her, fuck her, kiss her, make her fall for him all for him to get his strokes in and dip. She knew predictable men's intentions and she made the mistake and fell in his trap. She wondered how she could've missed Dean and Devin. All these terrible thoughts only made Sierra cry more. She bawled her eyes out all the way to her dorm, to her room, and in her bed under her blankets. After she had been in bed a while and felt numb she felt her bed shift a bit and looked up. It was Lilian.
"Oh Lilian I am so so so stupid." Sierra cried
"Girl what the hell are you talking about? You are the smartest girl I know. Sierra stupid? Never." Lilian uplifted
"Devin told Dean she liked him. I saw and heard the whole thing. He was playing with me. That's why he never told me how he felt and fucked me instead. He never wanted me like that. He got what he wanted and now he moves on." Sierra cried again
"Well as I was chasing after you I saw him. I didn't get that vibe from him. He was actually looking for you."
Sierra paused to think.
"Wait- girl what? Devin likes Dean?" Lilian asked confused
"Unfortunately. But I'll get over it. I have school to focus on anyways."
After Lilian and Sierra's talk Sierra decided to move on from Dean and devote her whole attention to school and her job and ignore the rest like she wanted to do in the first place. Dean was just a distraction and a bad one.
Time skip - February 12th (Three weeks later)
Sierra was walking from her art history while checking her new work schedule. She was so incredibly stressed. She was not having a good day. She also kind of missed Dean, but she was trying to ignore it because obviously from January's events he doesn't miss her. As she was rushing to her next class looking down at her phone she runs into something hard and stumbles back and looks up at whatever she ran into.
"Oh I'm so sorry" the man in her way said
Sierra begins to look up as she speaks
"No, no it's my fault, I am so sor-" Sierra pauses "Dean?"
"Sierra." Dean responds "Sierra please let me talk to you, I've been meaning to talk to you, it's just been so busy and I know you heard something so I wanted to talk to you in person rather than over the phone."
"No, yeah I'm good. I have a class to get to, move." Sierra said as she walks past him
"Sierra!" Dean yells as she walks away. He walks toward her before she gets too far.
"Sierra c'mon please listen to me."
"No. You heard what I said I have a class to get to. I don't want anything from you. You got what you wanted so leave me alone now." Sierra said sternly
"What are we talking about? What did I get? Don't be ridiculous, we haven't talked in months. Talk to me now. Please."
"You got what you wanted Dean. We had sex. Now have fun Devin. Hopefully you don't play with feelings and her pussy like you did with me." Sierra said nastily as she walked away.
Dean stood there in complete shock unable to speak or move.
Dean's Pov
Dean was so confused and appalled by his run in with Sierra. He didn't understand why she would not even hear him out. She was wrong about him and he needed her to know that. He had never seen a woman look so hurt before or even filled with so much disgust. As of his recent encounters with Sierra he never thought she would look at him that way. No matter how annoyed they got with each other she had never looked at him that way before. He was crushed. Ultimately he knew it was his fault for waiting so long. Dean approached his dorm and knew he needed to work things out with his friends and maybe they could help him figure out his next steps to clearing up his problem with Sierra.
